Re: Nega-Psychics and Psi-Nullifiers on Space Stations
Unless things on the space station are psionically controlled, Both RCCs are no danger to the station. If the station works on magic power, only the psi-nullifier would be a danger to the station. The nega psychic st least has a say in whether he wants to nullify magic near his person.
